Pacific Railroad Funding Bill.

In behalf Of the House committee on Pdpilc
railroads, Mr.. Outhwaite has prepared an
amendment to the second section of the Pac.-
fic railroad funding bill, reported by that COM
miltee. This Is the section which makes pro-
vision for the ascertainment of the indebted /.
ness OF the railroad companies to the govern
ment. The amendment Is intended as sub.
stitute for the latter part of the claus, which
provides that from the gross indeb,ednes;
shall be deducted any payments or reimbur,e-
ments made before the LIST of October, 1856,
and also the amounts in the sinking fund
properly applicable to the respective COM
panies. "aud simple interest ut the rate of )
per centum per annum upon said amounts in
the sinking fund from such day agreed upln
until the average date OF the maturity ofth }
subsidy bonds" For the words quoted are sub
stituted the following: "And those amIlltS
shall be taken and applied by the secretar;
OF the Treasury as payment to the government
on the bond and interest accounts of the re =
spective companies" Mr.. Cultivate states
that the effect of the amendment is-frst. to
remove any uncertainty as to the application
OF the sinking fund as a credit, and second
to increase the interest TO be paidfto l.2O per
cent. The committee, he says, mas discovered
that the plan OF settlement proposed IN the
bill would result in the collection of interest
at the rate of 2.09 per cent, By striking ouE
the clauses authorizing the application of tlo
sinking fund as n credit this increase in the
rate OF interest Is secured.

ST. JOHNS INSTITUTE.
Cardinal Gibbons Pays the Students
An Informal Visit.

His eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, accom-
panied by Rev. Father Chappelle, yesterday
paid visittoSt Johns Collegiate Institute,
and the students, directed by Rev. Brother
Tobias, extended to him most cordial re-
ception. Mr.. j. J. Nolan was the orator OF
the occasion, and his address of welcome,
on behalf Of the professors and students,
was filled with good wishes for his emf.
nence. Cardinal Gibbons, In replying, ex-
pressed himself delighted In seeing so mauy
intelligent young men under. the care of
the Christian Brothers. He said that
parents who placed their sons under such
able management were to be congratulated.
Each young man should endeavor to be, as
were the young GIacchii, the pride con-
ISOLATION, and jewels of their parents. To
accomplish this true education was needed,
not mere book knowledge. Our republic
is country OF law, and not governed by
the armed millione like the European coun-
tries. That our country may be prosperous
and that despotism may never take root in
this land OF freedom true Christian must
be fostered and the history and policy OF
our country must be studied. Then the
young men In whom dependence Is placed
for the future preservation of our laws and
liberties will be competent for their life
work. In conclusion, his eminence bade
the students farewell before his departure
for the Eternal City next Wednesday, and
gladdeued the students' hearts by granting
holiday, to be given on the first fair day.
